Eric Hopkins, a 32 year old former Florida security guard, has pleaded guilty to a charge of trying to lure an underage Connecticut girl into a sexual relationship over the Internet. Hopkins left his Florida home last fall and his plan was to drive to Connecticut, pick up a 13 year old girl he met on the Internet and bring her back as his sex slave. He didn't know that Stacy from Connecticut was actually Glastonbury Police Officer Scott Driscoll working for the FBI's Computer Crime Task Force. Hopkins faces at least five years in prison and as much as 30 years when he is sentenced April 1.
